It’s National Lipstick Day – no better time to swipe on your favourite shade. Whether you’ll opt for a glossy nude, summer-ready peach or maybe even a dramatic red lip (even though it’s a Tuesday), it’s time to add some extra glam to your makeup look. But what does lipstick truly represent, besides a luscious pop of colour? There’s no better way to find out than through world-pop sensation SHAB’s shimmering single – yes, called ‘LIPSTICK’ – that’s racing to the top of charts and owning femininity in all the best ways.
Taken from her critically-acclaimed album ‘One Suitcase,’ ‘LIPSTICK’ is a sassy disco-pop pick-me-up, boosting your mood like a MAC cosmetics silky matte. Over a slick beat, the summer-ready track fearlessly demands attention, blending 80’s synth-pop, sugary vocals and a glamorous attitude you’ll instantly want to carry with you through the day. Inspired by the excitement of new romance and the exhilaration of freedom, it stands out in her discography as both an instant hit and a vibrant anthem of empowerment: as colourful and lush as its title implies.
As National Lipstick Day arrives – celebrating the transformative power and beauty of the product – SHAB’s music is a stunning reminder to step into your confidence. Dating back to ancient civilisations using natural pigments to contemporary formulas with an array of colors and finishes, lipstick has always symbolized status, enhanced appearance, and rebellion throughout time. It’s more than just a cosmetic product – it’s a form of self-expression, echoing SHAB’s bold advocacy for women’s rights in Iran and her remarkable journey from refugee to pop star.
So, what are you waiting for? Hit play, swipe on a burst of colour, and celebrate self-love.
